This pattern is for a continuous granny rectangle blanket using the 6DKB stitches and based on the 6-Day Great Granny Blanket. Start in the center and keep going until it’s as big as you like!

I’ve worked up a simple, practical, perfect-for-grandad edge for this rectangular variation. I hope you like it.
